It has come to the attention of the Corona Fire Department that certain individuals may be misrepresenting themselves as fire department employees. Businesses are being targeted by individuals who wear official looking “uniforms” and perform questionable “fire safety inspections”. These individuals typically enter businesses and state that, “they need to inspect the fire protection system.” These components can include alarms, fire sprinklers, hood systems, and fire extinguishers. Oftentimes, these “inspectors” ask an unsuspecting employee to sign a form authorizing the inspections. Subsequently, the business owners will receive an invoice for various services that were performed.
